Format specifier like %2$s
in printf
to specify the second parameter is not part of standard C, but a POSIX extension. Visual Studio doesn't support it.
MS VS formatstring specify used parameter with $

Question
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to create a C program.
I want to test the formatstring parameters.
The only thing I'm trying to do is the following
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
printf("Test: %2$s\n","asdf","2asdf");
return 0;
}
If i say Test: %s
it uses the first parameter. But I want it to use the second parameter.
But my output here is Test: $s
What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to specify the second parameter to be used?
